I QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA || Why I'm Not Going Back (Christian Perspective)

Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. How have you guys been?

While editing this video I cut out two points that I covered in this video because the video is super long and didn't want to bore you guys.

One point I mentioned was "Is Life without social media boring?" my short answer is no. I still have loads of entertainment options that are fun and are more fulfilling like reading, going for long walks, I also watch movies with friends and my husband, working out, snacking (lol), and many more. And if you are curious I still have friends... Oddly enough Social Media didn't strengthen the friendships I already have but being off of it did. :)


Another point I cut out was this - Here are three things to consider if you are thinking of embracing digital minimalism which is essentially getting rid of apps or services that do you no good. 3 questions to consider are:

1) Does this app or service align with my values and current life aims?
2) Does this app or service help me flourish in my relationship with God and others?
3) What would life look like with or without this app or service? Weigh the pros and cons and be obedient to the Holy Spirit's calling.
